"One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering."

in demolishing and remodeling. We had a plumbing leak in our kitchen that

we did not know about until it ended up in a closet in the bedroom

on the other side of the wall.

Thankfully, we had good homeowner's insurance and then

we also decided this was the time to do a few extras.

(A sneak peek and will show you more when it is finished)

Here is Byron, our cabinet maker doing his great detail work.

Right now, while I post this,

I am squeezed between

our new dishwasher, yet to be installed into the kitchen,

and the computer desk,

along with boxes full of kitchen items,

just so I can type up this post.

A couple of days ago, the oven range

was sitting in our family room along with the refrigerator,

while flooring was being laid

both in the kitchen and in our bedroom.

So now you know why

I haven't taken the time to post for so long.

I just couldn't get my brain out of chaos gear and into posting mode.

I hope you haven't had anything keeping you frombeing all ready for Christmas.So glad that even in the midst of unexpected chaos, that I can center on baby Jesus, laying in that lowly manger insideof an animal stable. It kind of puts everything in perspective!So thankful that HE is my KING.

“Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don't try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he's the one who will keep you on track.
Don't assume that you know it all.”

Proverbs 3:5-6

What do you do to get yourself

going again when your plans get changed?

I hope your pieces are falling right in place

for you this week, but if not,

get out the card table and some tea

and invite me over.

We could sure have some fun together

figuring out where some of those pieces go!!

Hi, my name is Lee Ann. Here is a little about me and I cannot wait to hear all about YOU

I am a very blessed woman! The Lord has blessed me with being a wife to my hubby of 40 years, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter and friend. I love meeting new people, painting and creating and hopefully encouraging YOU who have stopped by for a visit today. It is my hearts desire to help you see what a wonderful creation God has made in YOU and to encourage you to spread your wings and fly. There is no one else like you, Snowflake ! You are one of a kind and I'm so happy to meet you.
